It’s Been 3 Odd Games But Working With Dravid Is Fantastic: Rohit Sharma
Mumbai: India’s new white-ball captain Rohit Sharma has said while it’s only been three odd games, working with head coach Rahul Dravid has been “fantastic”.
While opening up for the first time after becoming the ODI captain, in an interview with bcci.tv, the India opener talked about what’s it like to be partnering with the new head coach at the helm.
“Working with Rahul Bhai, even though it was only three odd games, it was fantastic. We’ve seen how he’s played his cricket; very tough and hard. And at the same time, there’s a sense of relaxation as well. It’s important to keep the atmosphere light and cheerful. When you’re doing a job in a field that is so demanding, you need to have an atmosphere where people can relax and chill around.
“It’s only been a little while but, I’ve had so many interactions with him in the past about the game and about my personal game. It’s good to have him on board and it will be very a fruitful (association) one for the future,” explained Rohit.
The thirty-four-year-old Rohit took over the reins in the T20I format just after the end of the T20 World Cup. He made a perfect start as permanent captain as he led his team to a 3-0 win over New Zealand at home.
Earlier last week, the BCCI while announcing India’s Test squad for the upcoming South Africa tour also revealed that Rohit will immediately replace Virat Kohli as the ODI captain.
India’s tour of South Africa begins with the first Test on December 26.
